The problem is that "mainline" churches don't back the Bible.

They made a big mistake when they abandoned geocentrism just because the scientific evidence said so.

"[It is my] loving duty to seek the truth in all things, in so far as God has granted that to human reason." Nicholas Copernicus (1473-1543).

Accepting Heliocentricism was hardly the same abandoning the Bible. The Medieval Church clung to geocentrism, not because of the Bible, but because they made the mistake of accepting the scientific orthodoxy of their day.
